# Net.art × Post-Internet Art — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=net-art+post-internet-art
# Net.art carries the structure and Post-Internet Art appears as the accent.
# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images that take their structure from Net.art (style, 1990s–) and their accent from Post-Internet Art (aesthetic, 2000s–).

## What to make

Make the kind of thing Net.art exists for: publishing work at a URL when it can only exist inside a browser, or making the mechanics of transmission and surveillance the subject itself. Choose one subject and hold it across all four.

## Structure comes from Net.art

- Link structures
- Browser UI
- Errors
- Participation and transmission

Composition: Make navigation the composition, assuming back buttons and several windows. Type and lettering: Use default browser fonts and leave underlined links undecorated.

## Accent comes from Post-Internet Art, used sparingly

- Network images converted into prints or objects
- Screenshots, product images and 3D renders mixed
- Installation views returning to social feeds
- High-resolution and compressed imagery on the same surface

Let one material quality come from it: Keep the traces of conversion between screenshot, compression, print, 3D output and commodity.

## Colour and feeling

Build the ground on #ffffff, carry the structure in #0000ee and #111111, and let a single accent come from #7A5CFF. These are read off real works, so a direction rather than a fixed palette.
Feeling to carry: rebellion, technique, play, futurity.

## What goes wrong

- Net.art: Reproducing the early web look as a flat image leaves nothing that links, transmits or invites participation, and the network that was the site of the work disappears.
- Post-Internet Art: A collage of found web images alone does not address the circulation, reproduction and exhibition that define the tendency.

## Across the four

Keep the roles fixed in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows what this pairing can do rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period languages described above.
